Oh! Yes my friend, Oh! Yes, they are full of it, over many instances,  it's like management training, "Think Latterally find another angle to the common, then enforce it" It's a power thing! Tar Sirs..

According to Mr. Haynes the fluid should ideally be at 60 deg.c but can be between 45 and 85. I can only assume that a computer is required to tell them the temperature because their staff have no common sense.

Why not just touch the sump? If it's only warm to the touch, it's too cold. If it takes the skin off your hand it's too hot. Anything in between is fine...  ::)

The oil will be pretty bad....as for Tech 2.....they dont know what they are talking about....
I'd have to double check, but I don't think there is a level sensor (if there was surely it would flag up g/box on MID?), so how the hell is a Tech2 going to help....  ....I love dealers  >:(
I was quoted £300 to change the auto trans oil from Phoenix VX - apparently its no good just changing the fluid, you need to give it a complete service - thats what the receptionist said  ;)

So now receptionists are autobox mechanics too are they?

The lads on the forum know best, it's been proven so many times, even since I recently joined..
